Nice to see my original bash idea has proliferated...

I actually had this thought last year as well and my original solution 
was a very cheap bash script to loop through calls to the different 
drive letters, which worked, but was
prone to being sensitive on latency since it had to make many round 
trips (The same was true of checking multiple services in this way).

I think it would be better to have a native windows plugin to do this, I 
just haven't had time to get round to writing and testing it.

I actually did write a windows plugin for the multiple services check 
but have been so short on time that I wasn't able to thoroughly test 
every code branch so I didn't release it. (it's similar in code base to 
the check all automatic services are running plugin that I released though).

In fact, there are one or two plugins out there that do windows disk and 
services, but I didn't like their style, I felt the output was 
incoherent with Nagios style leading to a more mis-mashed dashboard 
(which I keep on a screen by my desk at all times) and my coding was 
more thorough so I didn't use them... but you're welcome to dig them out 
and try them if you want. Have a peek at Nagios Exchange.

I'm hoping to get time soon to thoroughly test my services plugin and 
also do the disk check plugin too. Stay tuned.
